    Before You Start Exercising
    This app can be used to monitor your exercise. While 
    moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, is 
    safe for most people, health experts suggest that 
    you talk with your doctor before you start an exercise 
    program, particularly if you have any of the following 
    conditions: 
    • Heart disease;
    • Asthma or lung disease;
    • Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;
    • Arthritis.

    Apps You should also check with your doctor if you have 
    symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious 
    disease, such as:
    • Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms 
    during physical activity;
    • Dizziness or loss of consciousness;
    • Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or 
    when lying down or going to bed;
    • Ankle swelling, especially at night;
    • A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced heartbeat;
    • Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that 
    goes away when you rest.
    Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine 
    recommends that you see your doctor before engaging 
    in vigorous exercise if two or more of the following 
    apply:
    • You are a man older than age 45 or a woman older 
    than age 55;
    • You have a family history of heart disease before 
    age 55;
    • You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;
    • You have not exercised for three months or more;
    • You are overweight or obese;
    • You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol;
    • You have impaired glucose tolerance, also called 
    prediabetes.
    When in Doubt — Check It Out
    If you are unsure of your health status, have several 
    health problems, or are pregnant, you should speak 
    with your doctor before starting a new exercise 
    program. Working with your doctor ahead of time is a 
    good way to plan an exercise program that is right and 
    safe for you. Consider it the first step on your path to 
    physical fitness.
